Answer:

a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem models a geometric sequence, because each day is double than the day before.

So, if a_{1} represents the first day, r=2 represents the increasing reason and a_{n} represents the day n, or the final day you can say.

Using all these elements, the sequence can be modelled as

a_{n}=a_{1}r^{n-1}\\  a_{n}=1(2)^{n-1}\\a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}

Where the first day is 1.

For example, after 20 days, that is, n = 20, the number of infected people would be

a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}\\a_{20}=(2)^{20-1}=(2)^{19}

Therefore, the expression that models this problem is

a_{n}=(2)^{n-1}

3x \times 2 = y
this is what I would come up with because.
y=the number of people infected
x=the number of days that have passed

Books spontaneously catch on fire in temperatures at or above 451, degree Fahrenheit. Write an inequality that is true only for
Brilliant_brown [7]
For this case, the first thing you should do is define a variable.
 We have then:
 t: temperature (degree Fahrenheit).
 We write then the inequation that adapts to the problem:
 t> = 451
 Answer:
 
an inequality that is true only for temperatures at which books spontaneously catch on fire is:
 
t> = 451

I am having trouble with mean absolute deviation and whisker box plots. I try looking at examples, but it keeps stressing me out
Arada [10]

Answer:

Mean absolute deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion. Whisker box-plot is a graphical method of quartile based divided data

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean Absolute Deviation is a statistical measure of dispersion or variability  in data. It denotes average level of deviation of observations from the central mean.

It is calculated using following formula : ( Σ | X - X' | ) ÷ N ; where X = individual observations, X' = mean, N = no. of observations

Whisker Box-plot is a graphical method of representing group of numerical data through their quartiles. This also consists line extensions from boxes, showing scatter beyond lower & upper quartile.
